has it been the words. that return always.
as certain as soldiers of war as you’d believe me.
all the children always made loved by God
and if you believe this i’ll tell you that as the spikes
entered where all nerves meet in the hand of the Son of God
he cried for an answer from his Father, God.
but he was screaming and begging for his dad to just -
say anything nice. Who heard the Son of God screaming?
the disciples gone, terrified of what had become of God on earth,
bloody and begging, while the Pharisees carried on.
Yeshua cried in Aramaic to a God that does not speak
Yeshua who had christened himself cried for answers for God
Not a whisper, no wind, In that pitch dark night, as he begged
God did not listen. God was not anywhere near to hear the screeching
that is so loosely charitably simply coined “Father, why have you forsaken me?”
But if I know anything of believing yourself the Messiah, until six men in white
hold your by all their strength to a gurney, and a man walks in with a syringe
you know then, I knew then., I was not the final Messiah.
I was the thing that proves Jesus whimpered in his language that
soon became Arabic, “Why would you do this to me? Father,
why would you allow these wounds to make me shriek?”
Nothing in the darkest night ever heard. The Lamb was sent
to be slaughtered for his meat, to prove God is silent when you shriek for him.
God is nowhere near you when you shriek for him.
So for your - what you might explain
I do not question much
I do not expect the poem book of hieromania
as anchorite to mean what I thought it might
have once meant to you/ It’s lost and won’t be found.
i have written whatever on yellowed paper after paper
words on yellow paper as words on the way to my art college
always just short lines
“I see the Yang Ming freight stacked to heaven as if they go”
“The girl nervous should be the least, this from a nervous boy”
some lines from my phone from a decade ago gone forever.
God gone forever as the pegs drove themselves deep to the center
of the nerves. Yeshua, Joshua, who gave himself the name Christ
christened. my middle name, aramaic yeshua, deserved no answer
from God. He had killed God. He was a crying boy who wondering
if Joseph still loved him then. Joseph who was not his father.
And as the boy who shares my middle name went silent
in a second from the shrieking for answers|
Joseph was tilling a field, unaware.
I think
sometimes I do, in moments
where I feel torture is in how silent my questions have stayed
Why are you God that died as I cried for you
why do would I cry for God if I know doing so is a sure way for the pitch
of the dark of the sky holds no secrets
Why can’t you just fucking tell me anything
